Why Boston's Sunrise & Sunset Matters

Boston sits at 42.36°N latitude at the eastern edge of the Eastern Time Zone, and that edge position gives it some of the earliest clock times in the continental United States. Day length swings from just 9h 04m at the December solstice to 15h 17m in June — a difference of over six hours — with summer sunrises as early as 5:08 AM and the year's earliest sunset, about 4:13 PM, arriving in the first week of December.

The Atlantic frames both ends of the Boston day: the sun rises out of the ocean over Boston Harbor and sets behind the hills west of the city. Summer evenings are generous, with sunset near 8:25 PM at the solstice, while November flips the city into winter mode fast — sunset slides from 4:39 PM on the 1st to 4:14 PM by the 30th, and for weeks the workday both starts and ends in the dark.

FAQ — Boston Sunrise & Sunset

What time does it get dark in Boston?

In mid-November it gets dark in Boston quickly: civil twilight ends at about 4:56 PM, just under 30 minutes after the 4:27 PM sunset, and the sky is fully dark by about 6:03 PM. Boston's spot at the eastern edge of its time zone makes its winter evenings among the earliest in the United States.

What is the longest day in Boston?

The longest day in Boston is the June solstice, around June 21, with about 15 hours 17 minutes of daylight — sunrise near 5:08 AM and sunset near 8:25 PM. That is over six hours more daylight than Boston gets on its shortest day in December.

How long after sunset does it get dark?

In Boston, usable civil twilight lasts about 30 minutes after sunset in November and about 35 minutes at the June solstice. Full darkness takes longer — roughly 1 hour 35 minutes after a mid-November sunset. Twilight is shortest near the equinoxes and longest near the solstices.

When is the earliest sunset in Boston?

Boston's earliest sunsets come in the first week of December, bottoming out at about 4:13 PM around December 3 — roughly two weeks before the shortest day of the year. The mismatch happens because the latest sunrises do not arrive until early January, a quirk of the equation of time.

Where can I find Boston sunset times by month?

The monthly table on this page gives the sunrise, sunset and day length for every day of the month. In November, Boston sunsets fall from 4:39 PM on the 1st to 4:14 PM on the 30th, on their way to the early-December minimum of about 4:13 PM.
